RE: proconnective tissue cesssing deer
I gernerally do it with a couple of friends and we generally get the entire processing done in about an hour we have a walk in freezer that we generaly let them hang fora few days and try to do a couple at the same time as long as we have the tools of the trade out and on the table. it is worth it to do your own we even make our own sausage I just don't trust taking it to a butcher because you dont know if they mix it with someone elses stuff and I have heard of guys bringing in deboned meat with leaves and burrs and twigs in it and I dont want my family eating that stuff.
So my best advice get a couple of friends and help each other out
